I'm Afraid To Ride A Bike In San Francisco The city knows where the gaps are. When will all San Franciscans be able to ride a bike safely?

I'm afraid to ride a bike in San Francisco. I wrote an article about why I'm scared and what causes this. I also plan to do my first bike ride in the city and would love Mayor Lurie to join me.

In recent days and weeks, many in local media and on social media have been highlighting the horrible traffic congestion faced by those living in and around our city. Alongside these many complaints, some have highlighted supposed ‘solutions’ to the gridlock - conservative suggestions, which ultimately include even more lanes for traffic and additional parking spaces. There is a better alternative, which is actually based on best-practice in urban planning across Europe; reducing the number of cars on the road by providing additional transport options and by planning for medium-density, mixed-use buildings, which can build thriving, walkable communities. The traffic congestion in a city like Waterford is not normal. Nor is it normal in Galway, nor in Dublin. This is caused, simply, by too many people driving. And that is due, in part, to a lack of freedom to choose how we want to travel safely and efficiently. I am one such example; despite never once driving anywhere else I've lived, preferring to cycle or use public transport, my life in Waterford is dominated by driving, due to a lack of safe and segregated bike paths, severe urban sprawl, and abysmal public transport for a city the size of Waterford. Our lack of public transport infrastructure in our cities makes Ireland the clear outlier among European countries. Many similarly-populated cities across our continent have at least one tram line, and a large number of bus routes - with some providing 24-hour coverage. During my local and general election campaigns, I found 10 French and German cities the size of Waterford which have tramlines. In particular, I highlighted the example of Dessau-Rosslau in Germany, a city of similar size, which contains two tram lines, 14 bus routes, including six night routes, and a commuter rail system. Maybe, instead of calling to make our city actively worse to exist in by undoing pedestrianisation and adding extra lanes of traffic - we can pressure those in power to buil…

Thanks to the Munster Express for printing my recent article about Solving Waterford's Traffic Problems!
